As a result, the hotel will snatch the title of the world’s tallest from the Gevora Hotel, also in Dubai, which the hotel has held since 2018.
Officially set to open in November, the Ciel has been developed by The First Group and will be managed under the Vignette Collection by IHG.
And rooms can already be booked online for stays from November 15.
The hotel is located near the Dubai Marina, with guests able to explore several beaches, shopping areas and top attractions all right on their doorstep.

In total, the hotel will feature over 1,000 rooms and 147 suites spread across 82 floors.
In each room or suite, guests can gaze out at the Dubai skyline from floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
As for things to do in the hotel, guests will find a club, set to gain the Guinness World Record for the highest club in the world.
Though the sky club on the 81st floor won’t hold the record for long as the Burj Azizi project, also in Dubai, is set to include a club even higher in the sky.
There will be a luxury spa as well, located on the 61st floor with a state-of-the-art gym.
Guests can head to the spa for traditional beauty treatments, as well as more treatments designed to “guide you to your best self”.
There will be an Executive Lounge too, called the ‘Nest’ on the 16th floor.
When it comes to food, guests can head to the award-winning Asian restaurant, Tattu Dubai, which will be spread across three levels towards the top of the hotel.
There will also be Risen Café and an artisanal bakery, serving up freshly baked goodies made using local ingredients.
West 13 will be another restaurant in the hotel with a Mediterranean cuisine and open kitchens.
It will have handmade pasta, Greek gyro stations, tacos and mezze.

In fact, there are eight restaurants and bars across the hotel in total.
Then heading up to the roof, there will be the world’s highest infinity pool, at a height of 294metres and a 360-degree glass observation deck boasting views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the entire Dubai skyline.
The hotel will also have children’s activities, according to its website, though it remains unclear what these could include yet, and it will have a dedicated kids’ pool.
Rooms are available from £308 per night.
